Abstract:
    The results of both BVRI CCD photometric monitoring and fast
    photometry for 8 blazars and variable quasars are presented. There is
    intraday variability for 6 blazars and very short timescales (minutes
    to two hours) variability for 5 objects. Implications for relativistic
    beaming are briefly discussed.
